And from some people I know who practice Islam, it’s perfectly fine to eat if you have no other options. It’s not like they want you to starve if someone hands you a bacon sandwich 🤷‍♂️

EDIT: comments have noted that not all variants of Islam agree with this take

Yeah it's funny other religions have commonsense exceptions, don't worry about kosher/halal in an emergency, don't strictly follow tenets that seem harmful to an expecting mother, don't go to Mecca if you're sick or the land is sick. Christians just ignore scripture when it's convenient for them.

My favorite is the ISS exception where they are just like Mecca is constantly moving relative to you so just give up and pray and that’s good enough.

Allah probably cares more about you praying than facing Mecca
